Mount Washington spans 4 census tracts of Cincinnati, OH, population 14,992. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 30.1% citywide, putting Mount Washington 16.1% over its own city.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.6 to 5.7, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 3,561 across 4 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 17.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 6.5% in 2018, is well off that peak. Among the 38 mapped neighborhoods of Cincinnati, it ranks #25 by risk, the middle third.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $964, close to the Cincinnati average.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
